Heavy snowfall and rain have brought flooding to many parts of the US, with predictions for continued floods along the Mississippi and other rivers. Some experts are concerned the floods could rival those in the Midwest in 1993, which caused an estimated $15 billion in damage.

As the floods and recovery play out in the coming days and weeks, following are some reminders of risk mitigation and recovery steps to keep in mind.

The above is not an exhaustive list, and it’s always wise to keep your unique circumstances in mind. Early steps and a proactive response can help you minimize damage to people and property and enable you to recover as quickly as possible. They can also help you address operational issues, enabling you to file insurance claims and get your business up and running faster.
